    Coordinate with production and design teams to align animation assets with overall project milestones and deadlines.

    Review and adjust animation work based on feedback to ensure quality and deliverable standards.

    Incorporate feedback from stakeholders to refine animations while maintaining artistic integrity.

    Contribute to concept development sessions, offering creative ideas and animation-focused input.

    Quality Control & Technical Oversight

    Review and approve animation work produced by junior animators or external contractors to ensure it meets company quality standards.

    Optimize animation workflows and pipelines for efficiency and consistency.

    Ensure final deliverables meet required technical specifications (resolution, frame rate, file format, etc.).

    Mentorship & Team Development

    Mentor and guide junior animators, providing constructive feedback, animation coaching, and technical support.

    Help build a collaborative, creative environment by sharing best practices and encouraging professional growth.

    Participate in training, skill development, and innovation initiatives to keep the team updated on industry trends and tools.

    Strong portfolio demonstrating mastery in character animation, motion graphics, and visual storytelling.

    Proficiency with industry-standard animation software (e.g., Adobe Animate, Toon Boom Harmony, After Effects, or equivalent).

    Solid understanding of animation principles: timing, spacing, weight, squash-and-stretch, anticipation, and follow-through.

    Ability to interpret storyboards/scripts and translate them into engaging, dynamic animations.

    Strong communication, collaboration, and feedback-handling skills.

    Detail-oriented with a keen eye for quality, consistency, and polish.
